I hired a wedding planner because everyone told me I should. I truly didn't appreciate how important it is to have that resource on your team. Brynn, owner of First Look Events came very highly recommended from a good friend. Once hired, Brynn immediately discussed with my daughter and me our vision, likes and dislikes and budget. We had a good idea what we wanted, however Brynn elevated every aspect and provided incredible resources to execute the ceremony and reception. The wedding was in a large hotel ballroom. Brynn and her team created a winter wonderland that was elegant, personal and gave a nod to my daughter and her (now!) husband. During the planning, any issue that came up, Brynn had a creative idea or a fix. The installation, management and execution of every detail the evening of the wedding was over the top. Brynn had a detailed schedule for all vendors (i.e., the hotel, florist, photographer and band). she was in close touch with all of us the day of to ensure everyone was on schedule. During the dinner and reception she managed all of the vendors and checked in with all of us throughout the night. When the reception was over, Brynn and her team packed up everything and delivered items to the bridal suite. When my daughter walked into the suite after the after party, the suite was cleaned up and her gown was hung. I have since learned there were sizable issues in getting all of the decor items up to the ballroom. However Brynn took care of everything, we found out the following day the problem solving/battle she was having with the hotel. She is a pro beyond words. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

You would be remiss to plan a wedding in Colorado and not use Brynn Swanson and her team at First Look Events. This team of genius creatives brought my husband and my winter wedding vibes to life in ways that we didn't even know was possible. First Look has incredible relationships with vendors all across Colorado and are able to tap into them to basically provide you with anything you can dream up. I feel confident that the phrase “we can’t do that” is something this incredible company of women has never said.

This is the wedding planner you want to have your back on the day of your wedding. Had you asked me the night of my wedding if anything went wrong, I would have told you no, but little did I know that there were multiple hiccups that happened with the venue day of (to no fault of Brynn’s) that these gals took care of so seamlessly, my guests and I would have never known. Brynn and her team have such a calming presence and do such a good job making sure that you have everything you need on your wedding day. Be it, keeping the flow of events moving to stick to schedule, pinning my wedding dress when I found out minutes before walking down the aisle that one of the tacks had come loose and I was at risk of flashing the entire audience, or making sure that every perfect surprise that we had planned for our guests ran smoothly and that my husband and I had a front row seat for them all with a glass of champagne in hand.

I have now seen Brynn and her team plan multiple of my friends' weddings and every one of them had very distinct and different feeling that perfectly captured the couple getting married. The only thing I would have done differently for my wedding is signed with First Look Events sooner and not wasted time interviewing other wedding planners.

Alexandra and Brynn were absolute lifesavers! I came in without much of a vision for our wedding. I was clueless about design aspects in every direction. I told them to go for it on design choices, and they truly delivered! We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding and every single guest was truly in awe! The day of, I did not worry about a thing because they were there every step of the way! My mom continues to rave about Alexandra every time we speak. We were incredibly lucky to have her! I absolutely could not have survived without both Brynn and Alexandra. Thank you SO much again!
